Academic Integrity

Academic integrity is a commitment to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage (ICAI, 2021). 

York is committed to maintaining the highest standards of academic integrity in all areas of academic life, including teaching, learning, and research. Every member of our community plays a vital role in fostering these values. This website serves as a central hub for academic integrity information and resources, designed to enhance awareness, clarify expectations, and reinforce our collective commitment to a culture of integrity at York.

Using current, scenario-based examples, you’ll explore what academic integrity looks like in practice and learn how to recognize common forms of academic misconduct. You’ll also build essential skills for working with sources and citing effectively.

Community Conversations

All are invited to join this six-part, interactive conversation series that brings together colleagues from across the university to explore what it means to teach in ways that support academic integrity.
 
Each session focuses on a chapter from The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI (Bertram Gallant & Rettinger, 2025), available as an eBook through York University Libraries.
 
Co-hosted by the GenAI Pedagogies Community of Practice and the Academic Integrity Community of Practice, these discussions create space for reflection, practical insight, and collaborative thinking about integrity, trust, and the evolving nature of assessment.
 
Come to any single session or attend the full series.
